633.675 - CAUSE FOR TERMINATION.

        633.675  CAUSE FOR TERMINATION.
         A guardianship shall cease, and a conservatorship shall terminate,
      upon the occurrence of any of the following circumstances:
         1.  If the ward is a minor, when the ward reaches full age.
         2.  The death of the ward.
         3.  A determination by the court that the ward is no longer a
      person whose decision-making capacity is so impaired as to bring the
      ward within the categories of section 633.552, subsection 2,
      paragraph "a", or section 633.566, subsection 2, paragraph
      "a".  In a proceeding to terminate a guardianship or a
      conservatorship, the ward shall make a prima facie showing that the
      ward has some decision-making capacity.  Once the ward has made that
      showing, the guardian or conservator has the burden to prove by clear
      and convincing evidence that the ward's decision-making capacity is
      so impaired, as provided in section 633.552, subsection 2, paragraph
      "a", or section 633.566, subsection 2, paragraph "a", that
      the guardianship or conservatorship should not be terminated.
         4.  Upon determination by the court that the conservatorship or
      guardianship is no longer necessary for any other reason.
